Columbia driver shot in neck by car passenger

Columbia police are searching for a man who shot a woman driving a car with five passengers in it on Crosshill Road early Sunday morning.

City police released only sketchy information about the incident, including that the suspect they are looking for is a black male about 5-foot-4 known as Lil Cam.

After she was shot, the wounded woman pulled her car over. People in the back seat placed the woman there, and one of the rear seat passengers began to drive the vehicle to a hospital.

On Beltline Boulevard, the people in the car spotted a Forest Acres police officer and pulled over for help.
At this time, Lil Cam fled from the vehicle towards Forest Drive, a city police spokesman said.
